A touching and unexpected scene surprised tennis fans during the Wimbledon weekend: The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, publicly expressed her support for Jannik Sinner and proposed a special three-year collaboration.

According to sources close to the organization, Kate Middleton – a lifelong tennis fan and a constant presence in the stands at the London tournament – personally asked Sinner to guarantee her participation in Wimbledon for the next three editions, effectively becoming one of the tournament’s iconic images.

“Jannik is an example of sportsmanship and talent. Wimbledon needs champions like him,” the princess reportedly declared, accompanying the invitation with a proposal for an exclusive partnership that includes significant collaboration with charities linked to the tournament.

Sinner’s response was immediate and surprised everyone with its simplicity and humanity: with a sincere smile, the South Tyrolean champion accepted the invitation and added that he would donate a portion of the proceeds from the contract to help homeless children in Italy.

“Sport has given me so much. It’s right to give something back, especially to the younger ones who haven’t had the same opportunities,” Sinner stated with great humility.

The tennis player’s gesture touched not only the British royal family, but also thousands of Italian and international fans, who flooded social media with messages of appreciation and gratitude. It’s an example of how sport can unite, inspire, and contribute concretely to doing good.

Jannik Sinner is not only a talent on the pitch, but also a big heart off it – and this, today more than ever, is the sign of a true champion.
